Default RE: Do you see more deer in the AM or PM.

I voted for PM shoot/see! I have killed many more deer on evening hunts than I have in the morning. And for me,the morning and evening hunts are pretty close to the same number, meaning I don't overwhelmingly hunt the evenings.

If I could change one thing about my approach to hunting, it would be to get into my stand at least one half hour before daybreak. Because right now, I don't always do that. I clearly know the advantages of doing that, but I still fail a lot of times to do it! Case in point: One morning about two years ago, I did happen to start walking to the stand earlier than normal. It was dark!! Just as soon as I reached the platform of my stand and reached for the rope to pull my bow up, I heard what sounded like a couple of deer walking in the leaves just below me! I couldn't believe it........I had just climbed the tree and reached the platform, and they were walking in to me, totally unaware and unspooked at what I might be! I picked up my binoc's and looked just below my tree and there were two younger bucks just feeding on acorns. It was still dark enough that I could barely even make out their bodies without the binoc's and they were just below me. I just really couldn't believe that they didn't spook as I meandered through the forest stepping on leaves and twigs. I guess they couldn't make me out, so they just didn't get spooked! I learned a lot that morning!
